The tension between T.I. and Ludacris seems to be worse than some may have thought. According to reports, T.I. was involved in a brawl on Sunday afternoon (June 24) during an industry party in Hollywood.
While in attendance for a luncheon held by Kevin Liles of Warner Music Group, T.I. is reported to have got into an argument with Ludacris' manager Chaka Zulu, which turned to fists.
Witnesses at the luncheon say T.I. punched Zulu, which sparked a small melee that was broken up almost immediately by security.
Both T.I. and Zulu arrived about three hours into the event, with the altercation taking place soon afterward.
T.I. and Zulu's camps have yet to comment on the incident, and it is currently unclear as to what started the confrontation.
Both T.I. and Luda have been knee deep in the lyrical war of words, but they had supposedly put it behind them for a while now. According to MTV, they were seen being friendly toward each other at MTV News' "Great Day in Atlanta" event, congratulated each other backstage after the Grammy Awards in February, and even performed at the same venue at L.A. radio station Power 106's Powerhouse concert in Anaheim, California, on Saturday.
